Panaji, Jul 7: The Konknni compering workshop conducted by Dalgado Konknni Akademi (DKA), recently evoked a good response with  73 participants, majority of whm were youth and college going students.

The workshop was held in two sessions. The duties and responsibilities of a compere were impressively spelled out by well known compere Dr Ajay Vaidya. “The duty of a compere is to conduct a function in a disciplined manner. That’s why the person who has accepted the responsibility to compere any function should report on the venue half an hour before the function and leave the venue half an hour after the function,” Dr. Vaidya said while guiding the participants in the workshop. He urged the participants to do the preparation and home work much in advance for compere.

In the second session, Xavier Fernandes, who has been booked as master of ceremonies for the next three years shared his various experiences in the field of compering. His experiences gave an insight to the participants that while compering the functions the compere should be ready for any eventuality.
 
The workshop was formally inaugurated by Vaidya and Fernandes in presence of DKA’s president Premanand A Lotlikar and secretary Jose Salvador Fernandes. Due to the demand of many more workshops in the field of compering, it was announced that DKA will hold its next workshop on compering in Margao very soon.
 
At the end of the workshop, certificates were presented to the participants.
